The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 57 These grapes are worthless
ate.

Liang Xinxin said: Do you think I am stupid?

That thing is made of colored glaze, can it be eaten? ? ?

Liang Xin looked around the room, and it was obvious that Li Qingzhao had hidden the bunch of grapes and the blue translucent plate.

Seeing Liang Xin preparing to look through the cabinet, Li Qingzhao said: "In the early years, colored glaze was a royal treasure, but now it is everywhere on the streets of Xiangguo Temple. The cheapest bottle only costs a few hundred dollars, but the grapes are so exquisite. But it’s not worth much.”

Liang Xin did this on purpose, knowing that Li Qingzhao was reluctant to part with the bunch of glazed grapes, so she played this trick. Now she saw that Li Qingzhao was weak, and immediately said: "Okay, okay, you take my monthly money, and now you take my treasure." . In addition to daily writing, I will arrange another task for you to take notes."

Chunlan quickly prepared pen and ink for Li Qingzhao.

Liang Xin said: "Among the raw materials of colored glaze, there is a kind of transparent stone, add [-]% caustic soda, use our coke to burn the colored glaze water, and then use the tin melted into water as a mold to make me as transparent as possible. Here comes the flat glass. If it succeeds, I will ensure that you have green vegetables to eat every day in winter, and I will add [-]% to your monthly salary, how about that?"

Li Qingzhao agreed without saying a word: "Add [-]% to the monthly payment, and let me go into the warehouse to take a look, half an hour?"

Liang Xin: "Three hours."

Li Qingzhao beamed.

She had completely forgotten how pitiful she was in prison and how helpless she was when she was snatched back by Liang Xin. At this time, her mind was filled with a target she accidentally discovered in the warehouse.

It seems to be a defaced original work of Wu Daozi.

Even if it wasn't, it was copied by a master. Judging from the paper, it looks like it was from the Tang Dynasty.

she wants.

But who would have thought that Zongze would enter the house that day.

move.

Move gold and silver first, then copper coins, then jewelry...

Register and make books, check Liang Xin's account books, store them in the warehouse, and then exchange part of them for grain and grass, and transport them to Qinfeng Road first.Another part was given to the Ordnance Supervisor to start the expedition for the army. The workshops were mobilized to start inspecting the ordnance, preparing enough arrows, and starting to make large quantities of tribulus fireballs and poison smoke balls...

When Zongze took people into Liang's house to move gold and silver, Liang Xin was sitting in the garden pavilion admiring the flowers.

To be precise, enjoy the peppers.

He felt that this was the chili pepper, and he was waiting for it to mature, sow the seeds, and taste them by the way.

At this time, Zongze already believed that Liang Xin was the hand behind everything, and Liang Shicheng was just showing up on the table. He had met Liang Shicheng several times, and from his perspective, Liang Shicheng did not have such a high strategic vision.

At this time, just talking about the gold and silver obtained from ransacking homes, it was possible to easily fight a wealthy war with an army of 20 without touching a penny from the Song Dynasty's treasury.

Zongze silently thanked Cai Jing and Cai Bian for a few seconds.

If their brothers hadn't been greedy enough and had so much money confiscated from their homes, it would have been almost impossible to convince the officials and the conservative ones to use the treasury to invade the northwest.

The Empress Dowager supports the abandonment of Shanzhou.

It's because the national treasury cannot support the expenses of guarding the northwest.

Liang Xin.

He no longer thinks about things in the northwest.

Let professionals handle professional matters.

Cao Ping, Zhong Shidao, and Wang Hou, whoever leads the army can fight.With the three of them working together, the northwest shouldn't be difficult.

Guo Zhongxiao was in charge of Qinfeng Road, and Zongze, under the guidance of Zhang Dun, stayed in Bianjing...

The winning rate is very high.

What Liang Xin was thinking at this time was to choose a date to trick Zhao Ji into leaving Beijing, and then take advantage of this window period to complete the final preparations for the army's expedition. When Zhao Ji came back, he could start dispatching the army.

We will go on an expedition in June, and by the way, we can return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year.

Of course, in this window period, besides making progress, there is another most important thing.

Regarding the expedition, even if Zhao Ji was in Bianjing, it would only add some trouble. Naturally, it was not as good as Zhao Ji going out to play, having fun, and signing without looking at anything.

What Liang Xin really wants to do.

It was to lift King Jian's ban and give him the opportunity to enter the palace and see Princess Zhu.

Accidentally, coincidentally, occasionally, I met several women...

King Jian's former concubine... On this day, Liang Xin rummaged in the palace warehouse for a long time, found a hairpin, and then bought two pieces of brocade.

Then go home.

In the evening, he and his father Liang Shicheng were going to Cao Mansion.

Today is an auspicious day.

Perform the ceremony of inserting a hairpin.

According to the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, today is the day when the groom-to-be and the bride-to-be meet.

The groom-to-be’s family prepares two gifts.

One portion is a hairpin, and one should be prepared according to the family situation. If you have money, it will be more expensive. If you don’t have money, there are also wooden hairpins.

If the match is right, the man will put the hairpin on the woman's head.

If you don't agree, it's polite to give two pieces of cloth to the woman to calm her down.

Liang Xin felt that since her family was also rich, she should use brocade, so she took two pieces of brocade from the palace warehouse.

And on the woman's side.

If you are right, come out and pour the man a cup of tea.

If you don't like it, just hide behind it and don't come out.

When Liang Xin returned home, she worked in the garden for a while and found that the peppers seemed to be somewhat mature.

I went to the kitchen to find some Fifei oil.

Liang Xin also studied this thing for a long time. After finding Shen Chong, she was sure that this thing was rapeseed oil, or at least something similar.

According to Shen Chong, there are plantings in the suburbs. The price is usually one and a half stones per acre, and usually more than one stone per acre, which can produce [-]% of the oil.

Heat the oil, add sesame seeds, add the chili peppers with the seeds removed, and add a little salt.

After sorting these, I kept most of them for myself and put some in small cans.

Then I went to Cao Mansion.

The side hall of Cao Mansion has already prepared everything needed for today.

After all the etiquette.

Cao Tan walked out from behind the screen. Liang Xin took out the hairpin and looked at Cao Tan.

My heart said, it’s broken.

I haven’t rehearsed it in advance, from which angle should I approach this.

Should it be from left to right, or from right to left, with a slight angle, or should it be done flatly...

Cao Tan saw Liang Xin in a daze, reached for the hairpin and inserted it into her head. He rolled his eyes at Liang Xin and sat behind the table, preparing to pour Liang Xin a cup of tea.

When Cao Ping saw this scene, he thought to himself: Sure enough, it was his girl who came back from the Liang family after robbing brother Xin of the Liang family.

As far as he knew from his investigation.

Cao Tan beat Liang Xin three times.

The first time was when Liang Xin and Cao Yang were in Taiqing Building, and the second time was outside the prison in Kaifeng Mansion.That's it for these two times. The last time, Liang Xin went to Taiqing Tower to have a drink. According to the description of the shopkeeper of Taiqing Tower at that time, Liang Shen saw Cao Tan and wanted to escape, but Cao Tan grabbed her wrist and took her into Taiqing Tower.

Then, in a box, Liang Xin was beaten.

Next, according to the description of the second housekeeper Cao An, within a few days after this, Cao Tan ordered him to find Liang Shicheng, and then arranged for the female envoy around him to enter the Liang family and become Liang Xin's concubine.

All the information is strung together.

Cao Ping believes that Liang Xin... is quite pitiful.

Thinking of this, Cao Ping felt that there should be more on the dowry.

After the ceremony of inserting hairpins, Cao Mansion left food.

Shabu mutton.
